In that I guess I am no different to many of you reading this and posting to it, whether it be Sammies Girl or any other seafood outlet.
If we do what many are recommending and stop prawn trawling altogether then where are we going to get our prawns from ...... some highly polluted rice paddie in Vietnam where they are fed on human excreta ? ? ?
I am with Waldo on this one. #The DPI is and has been working with pro fishers for many years in reducing by-catch.
As for me, I'll still head down to Sammies Girl to get me a feed of good Queensland prawns when ever I can.
It's when I can't that I will be screaming blue murder.
